His to Hold

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Two days after Jenny had purchased the building, Marc learned that she moves out of her previous apartment into her new one. To help her out, he had sent his own team, with his team been at her service, he had learned that she plans on opening her own restaurant. He had smile at that knowledge, but what had displeased him was finding out that she had made a two millions loan to start with the work.

He turns to his assistant after having read the report on her loan “Jimmy”

“Yes sir,”

“Prepare a check of three million and have it sent to central bank on the account of Miss. Sully. Do inform the bank that Miss. Sully debts has been paid in full and that she owes nothing. However, she is not to be inform of this and she must continue to pay the interest as it was contracted, but that interest money will go directly on an another account that will be open on her name, it will be consider as her saving account”

“Yes, Sir, would that be all”

He thought a bit and then said “on second thought, have the saving account on my name, when the times come, I will personally inform Jenny of her debts toward me. Also is the designing team ready?”

“Yes Sir, they’re waiting for your instruction”

“Good, where is she at the moment?”

Pulling the tablet, Jimmy logs into Jenny location “she is currently at the Italian restaurant on clover street”

“That is about five minutes from here. Do I have any meeting for the rest day of the day, if so have them cancelled? I have a important matter to take care of.”

Five minutes later, Marc enters the Italian restaurant and quickly spotted Jenny on the far end. She had a book in her hand and seems to be completely loss. Every male in the room, was watching her and the woman was oblivious to it all. His plan had been simple, walk in, found a location and wait. But seen her looking so innocent, he simply couldn’t do what he had planned. So he walks over to her table and without asking sat down.

Jenny was so lost in her reading that she did not see the man approaching. She felt a movement, but refuse to look up as the book she was reading was far more interesting than her surroundings. As she reaches the part where the protagonists admit their love for each other, she smiles and that is when she heard the voice

“You should smile more often”

Startle, she looks up to see herself staring at none other than Marc Bloomfield. Instantly, her heartbeat increase as she wonders when did he get into the restaurant and why was he sitting at her table.   

Clearing her throat and slowly depositing the book, she asked “Why are you sitting at my table?”

Following her movement, Marc heard her question and instead of answering, he takes her book and read the title “Almost Heaven by Judith McNaught. Must be an interesting book for you to lose yourself to the point of not noticing your environment”

Jenny flustered at his remark, he was right but whenever she found herself reading a good story, everything around her become oblivious. “Was that why you sat down at my table, to chastise me? If so, I don’t remember given you the right to do so”

She watches as Marc expression darken at her words, he leans on the table and says “I am a powerful man Miss. Sully and as powerful as I am, I could have you beg me for mercy in the most adorable way”

Not understanding the exact meaning of his word, Jenny responded “You may be powerful, but I only recognize one power and that is GOD’s. For you to think you can have me beg for mercy, I surely would love to see that”

“Be careful what you wish for Jenny, the devil walks in disguise”

For some reason, Jenny founds herself enjoying their interaction as she replies “and I suppose you are that devil in disguise”

Instead of answering, Marc leans back on the chair and watches her, she had an eyebrow raised as she stared back at him, the woman was feisty, she was a challenge that he wanted to take head on. But he had to play his game right, for he was after one thing and that was her heart just like she had stolen his.

Jenny saw him lean back and watches her, she was unable to explain the look on his face, call her crazy or bold, she took the time to study his feature. He had black silky hair, his eyebrows were full and sexy. For a man he had long eyelashes which accentuated his grey eyes. He had thin yet wide nose and a thin yet plump lips. Speaking of his lips, a flash of their kiss came into her mind; As she remembers the feeling of his lips against her, she averted her eyes and suddenly found the table cloth interesting.

Marc was enjoying the way she had been studying him, the slow motion of her eyes as she studies his feature had his heart going crazy. He saw the moment her eyes landed on his lips, the blush that showed on her beautiful brown skin. He had no doubts that she was remembering their first kiss.

“Do you remember our first kiss?”

Jenny eyes snapped back at his as she narrows her eyes at him. He laughs but continues “I have never tasted such wonderful lips as yours and I found myself dreaming of them and of much more as I lay in the dark thinking of you”

Jenny eyes widen at his words. She studies his feature thinking that he was joking but his hooded expression revealed that the man was indeed thinking what he was saying.

“For the past couple of days, I dreamed that things had happened quite differently, that the moment I had kissed you, you had responded to my kiss, I would have pushed you against wall, as I slowly searched for you haven. Hearing you call my name as I bring you the brink of passion, wild passionate love I would have made to you”

Jenny was frozen on her spot as his words sink in, much as she tries not to, a vision of what he had just said came to mind and she felt her body going liquid.

Marc knew the moment she had let her guard down and took the opportunity to take her hand in his, ‘so soft’ he thought, ‘he could imagine her hand around his jewelry as she massages him and at that thought, his already hard member was begging to be freed. Turning her hand over, he brought her palms to his lips and slowly kissed it.

A gasp escaped Jenny as the feel of his smooth mouth kisses her palms sending a delicious shiver throughout her body. She has to get out of here, otherwise she might just do something she would regret but the slow massage that his index finger was doing to her palm was stopping her from moving.

Marc knew victory when he saw it, he held on to her hand with both of his and as their eyes met he says “you’re mine Jenny”

Those simple words shatter the moment as Jenny came back to reality, her face turns to a frown at the meaning of his words, forcibly taking her hands from his, she says “I am not yours and never will I be Mr. Bloomfield, found yourself another play toy that will be willing to play at whatever game you are trying to play at”

Marc watches her get up as she takes her stuffs, just as she was stepping away, in a quick movement, he caught her right arms, spun her around and crashes his mouth on hers.

Jenny had no time to react as Marc pulls her toward him and kisses her, somehow she had to detangle herself from him, as she could feel her body desires awakened. Something she had never felt and had only read in books. She manages to step on his shoes which had him let her go and next she punches him.

Marc yelps as he felt her stepping on his foot, thinking that she was going for his ball he ready himself but instead he got serve with a punch and stumble backward. With widen eyes he watches the furious woman in front of him as she stomps her feet’s and walk out like a tornado.

Leaning back, he laughs his heart content “oh Jenny, Jenny you may run but you will never be able to hide” he whispered to himself

Much to Jenny dismay, later on the afternoon, as she sat on her sofa with a pack of ice on her hands and watching TV a picture of her and Bloomfield at the restaurant was in the background as the gossip column says “Marc Bloomfield new love interest”

“My GOD what did I do to deserve this” she half yelled.

Meanwhile, back at his residence, Marc found himself grinning as he watches the news ‘perfecto’ he whispers “all is going as planned” as he takes a sip of his wine and takes the book sitting on his sofa table ‘Almost Heaven’ he says ‘what is so interesting about you, that have my lady smiling so lovingly’
